Temple of Aromas is a new UK trader brand selling the same style of incense as the foil wrapped incense supplied by Zam Zam of London, and made by Balarama of Thailand; though the owner, Derrick, who sent me some samples, tells me that he makes the incense himself in London with "natural oils from around the globe". The black "luxury" box is used when customers pay £5 for 25 sticks, instead of £4 for 17 sticks. The same or similar sticks under the brand name of Zam Zam can be bought in the UK from various places including direct from Zam Zam for £1.50 for 17 sticks, but wrapped in foil rather than packaged in cardboard.
The scent on the stick is rich with lemongrass oil. Fresh and uplifting. When first lit, the lemongrass fragrance is partly obscured by the aroma of the smouldering wood paste, though gradually as the stick burns, and the scent builds up and remains in the air, the lemongrass fragrance dominates, touched with a memory of coconut. It's a nice scent. Rather simple, but it does convey the essence of an lemongrass oil.
